Solange Knowles’ Son Daniel Addresses “Misconceptions” About His Life in Rare Comment

Solange’s son Daniel “Julez” Smith Jr. is shining a light on the tough part of fame.

In a recent livestream, the 21-year-old was asked, “What’s the hardest part about being you?” to which he replied, “Misconceptions.”

Further clarifying his exact sentiments, Julez—who Solange shares with her ex-husband Daniel Smith—added, “People think I’m gay.”

“Look, you know, like, the first time I ever heard of myself in the media was I was in seventh grade, and my mom posted this picture of me,” he shared. “I was dressed as LL Cool J. I had like this red jumpsuit, I was 13 at the time. Mind you, I had a girlfriend at the time. I went to school and my girlfriend showed me a picture that my mom posted.”

“This is grown ass adults who was calling me gay at what 13,” Julez added. “Cause they was saying I’m pretty, I’m a pretty boy.”
